  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Place the cottage cheese in a sieve and 
  drain.  In a small bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar.  Set aside. In a 
  large bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the eggs, butter, and vanilla. 
  Mix until well blended and smooth.  Add the dry mixture and blend well. 
  Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and set the cake aside. Prepare 
  the topping by sifting the flour, sugar, and cinnamon together. Add the 
  brown sugar and blend well.  Pour the melted butter over the topping mix 
  and immediately stir with a fork to form small crumbs. Sprinkle the topping 
  mix over the surface of the cake and bake the cake for 50 minutes, or until 
  done.  Cool to room temperature and then chill.
